Florence Pugh Responds to Comments About Her Body: “[The internet’s] a very mean place”

Recently, we shared a list of the most popular young actors, and Florence Pugh was featured among them. As we noted:

“Florence Pugh made the list due to her impressive range, having showcased her talent in both serious and lighter roles. Regardless of whether you think she deserves her spot over others, it’s undeniable that she has the skill and presence to make a significant impact in the industry. Her ability to stand up for herself is something we can always appreciate and support.”

Florence Pugh has undeniably established herself as a major star with her performances in Little Women, Oppenheimer, and various MCU projects. However, she remains a notably unconventional figure, both in her personal life and career.

One notable aspect of her uniqueness is her approach to body image. Pugh chooses to defy conventional beauty standards and simply be herself, despite facing criticism from toxic online trolls. In a recent interview with British Vogue, she discussed her reactions to these negative comments.

The interview provides an in-depth look at Pugh’s life and career, including her thoughts on body image. To read her candid reflections on dealing with online negativity, follow the link to the full article.

It’s so hard. [The internet’s] a very mean place. It’s really painful to read people being nasty about my confidence or nasty about my weight. It never feels good. The one thing I always wanted to achieve was to never sell someone else, something that isn’t the real me. (…) I don’t think it’s confidence in hoping people like me. I think it’s just, like, I don’t want to be anyone else.

… but I’m not a model. It’s portraying a completely different version of myself that I don’t necessarily believe in. You have to believe that you deserve to be in those pages being beautiful. But now I know what I want to show. I know who I want to show. I know who I want to be and I know what I look like. There’s no insecurities about what I am anymore.

Her response is not surprising, and we fully support Florence’s approach to living authentically. We also condemn the toxic trolls who try to demean others due to their own frustrations and insecurities.
